These things have obviously been spoken about at length in the weeks leading up to this day. |
Is it obvious? Probably would have happened sooner if what you're saying is true. |  |

Oh yea just so happens that two managers in a row (who employ vastly differing styles) have taken a shining to Southampton's 5th choice forward. What are the chances of then?
Not like Obafemi has been pulling up any trees is it. |
Scoring premier league goals is not easy. Swansea have been truly blessed with Graham , Michu, Bony #1, Ayew#1, and Llorente. All got double figures. Hotshot Gomis on big bucks, never did despite scoring freely in France and Turkiye.
Obafemi has a modest 5 in 30 odd games. Last season Richarlison got only 2 more (7) and he is rated at £80m and a starter for Brasil. No wonder he wanted the penalty last week. Andre Gray on big wages and a lot older got 24 goals in 4 Premier league seasons an average of 6 per season. A maximum of 10 and a minimum of 2 or 3.
MO appears very swift strong on the ball and seems a more rounded footballer than Lowe who to be fair to him did a real good job at Swansea. Talented young Premier league footballers available at £2m are as rare as hens teeth. It is unthinkable that Martin was not aware of him. He probably thought he was outside MK Dons price range like Downes. |  |

I wouldn't have thought they sprung it on him today.
I think they must have had conversations about Scott's list of players and who RM likes etc. |  |

I never said he was unaware of him.
But come on, you weren't born yesterday - this isn't a Martin choice. | |

Yea possibly. But again, at 9pm on deadline day Martin's hardly going to say no. | |

Obafemi is 5ft 7.
Perhaps play of Piroe.
Could be the start of a great partnership, if he comes. |  | | |

The majority of our signings will be Allen or Scott choices, which they have run past the manager. | |

Same as Paolo Sousa not knowing who Neil Taylor was when we signed him. I think it was him anyway 😂 | |

I doubt there has even been a conversation today.
These decisions have been made ages ago.
If a player doesn't sign or turns us down, it's on to the next one on the list. | |

If Martin picks all the players Scott and Allen may as well play poker in the Fairwood refectory. Every one has a role to play. Guidolin had never heard of Fer and Martin had never heard of his top scorer Piroe such that he chose not to pick him for his first game. Its a team effort. It always has been to Swansea.
Laudrup never accepted this and wanted total control. Cooper was sniffy about a number of players that he did not pick. He may have left because of it. If he left because the club wanted to sell Grimes (reportedly) then he might be a bit miffed tomorrow especially if he signs a new deal. Grimes was reportedly concerned about not playing and the wages not up to expectation. Swansea may be able to offer him both. | |

A list that just happens to contain a Southampton reserve forward that we nearly signed when the previous manager was in charge. | |

Alan Curtis recommended Taylor to the club after he had worked with the Wales u21 team. Tough boy Neil and out of contract too. | |

I'd say that's far more likely than the name dropping off the list and then Martin independently bringing the name to the table, yeah | |
